TOdae is my last day...
Feel kinda of down. Afterall I'd spent 2yrs plus with Band B. Knew them all. Close to them. Now I had to leave. Really, I miss them already. I will remember my days in Army. Made lots of frenz. Memorable days.....
I was frm Batch 52 in my training wing days. I was juz posted to the Band. Stayed at Tanglin Camp during that time. Has much fun together with my batch mates. Attended the Anunal Dinner and Dance which had the theme of Wild Wild West. Next we also took part in the SPort Days games at Pasir Ris Beach.
I was posted to Band B at Tengah Airbase. Together with me were Stanley(sax), Zhien(tbone), Pee(percussion), Kian Keong(tpet) and Adham(percussion).
Spent abt a yr at Tengah Airbase. Was in Bunk 10 with Pee. There was CHinsong, Guangyi and Bryan in the bunk too. Chinsong and Guangyi ORDed in a short while. Den 2 bandsman joined us in our bunk. Aloy and Soonwei. Both eupo player. There were also addition of 2 new tpeter; Glen and Qifeng.
Had a great time there. We played soccer, ate at the Spec Mass, went to Jurong Pt and Lot 1. Not to mention we also went for GOH, SAF day, COCs.
I remembered I went to Maju Camp for my 1st understudy Quarterguard. Matthew played and I learned.
Den we moved to Nee Soon camp during the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2004. It was a whole new environment there. Far, and we need to climb up some slope to reach the White House(our base).
Got used to it a while later. Found out that all of us haf to do overnite duty. Well we need to stay in the HQ office to take calls and run errands. There is also the need to stay in camp.
We moved frm our new bunk at Nee Soon Camp to an older one. DId our 2nd SAF day.
We haf a change of command in Band B. Changed our BSM to WO Goh. SSG Tham joined us as ABSM. Sgt Kadar and Sgt Kayi joined Band B too. SSG Gibert, MSG Radin and SSG Ridzwan went to Central Band. Also SSG Aik Kee came back frm overseas study and joined Band B as our future Director of Music whereas Cpt Yusri was posted to Training Wing.
We did Army Open House. Perform a Display for this impt event. It was quite enjoyable. Many rehearsal but it seemed not as bad as normal parades.
Next we had our Botanical gardens performance. It was my 2nd one during my time in SAF bands. The 1st one was held early this yr. Some of my batch mates had started clearing their leave on this period of time.
4-5weeks later...yes! Today. I am clearing my leave.
Had DeepaRaya celebration in camp. Watched a simple video on both religion. We ate our food wif hands only. Quite a new experience. Not use to it though :P..
Will haf a meet up wif Band B pple this Fri.
All the best to my frenz in SAF Bands. May you all succeed and dun give up. Aidos.
